Here's an example using select and the argument array to easily switch between many menus. The same code prints all the menus and reads all the replies using the select builtin.
We use the the $1 variable here to define which menu it's currently showing, which you can alter at will with the set -- and shift commands. You can easily use it like a stack, with [b]set -- nextmenu "$*"[b] pushing a menu to show next and shift popping a menu to return to the previous one.
But set -- will let you set menus in whatever arbitrary order you want, too.
